Developer Talks Ancients of Ooga

NinjaBee and development team J
Kenworthy Entertainment have released new details about the plot and characters
of their upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade title, Ancients of Ooga. In addition to
information regarding the game’s premise, the studios released the first
screenshots of the new characters and environments.

“Ancients of Ooga places you as the
Great Spirit of Ooga – a long-absent deity summoned to free the enslaved Oogani
race,” said John Nielson, creator of Ancients of Ooga and founder of J Kenworthy
Entertainment. “Your adventure takes you across the land of Ooga visiting
several villages where you recruit and possess individual Ooganis to unite seven
wayward tribes. Each Oogani tribe possesses unique ancient powers that have been
lost. As you befriend each tribe, rediscover their powers and revive their
murdered chiefs, you can eventually free the Ooganis and organize a revolt to
fight off their oppressive captors, the fearsome Boolis.”

Many tribes possess more than one
power. Here’s a little information about what each tribe can do.

The tribes

Harvesters – Harvesters come from
an agricultural realm where they can learn to walk freely through deadly
briars and thorns.

Stoners – With bodies hard as
stone, the Stoners can learn to use their bodies to smash through walls or
enemies.

Swimmers – Swimmers possess the
ability to breathe underwater and can learn to swim at high speeds.

Firelings – These Ooganis like it
hot - learning to breathe fire helps.

Flappers – In their high village,
learning to fly can be helpful.

Stinkers – Probably not the first
people you’ve met with breath that can kill.

Warriors – Uncanny, animal-like
speed and strength give these Ooganis the edge in most fights.
